Today I reluctantly drove up to Atlanta. I needed to pick up artwork from a recent exhibition there. Normally I enjoy heading out of town, but this time I needed to get up and back in the same day. And it's a four-and-a-half-hour drive. One-way. Thus my reluctance.

As I neared Atlanta, giant overhead traffic signs proclaimed:

"It is now illegal to text while driving in the state of Georgia."

"Jeez," I grumbled to myself. "What'll they outlaw next? Sketching while driving?"
